Video: Free To Choose, Volume 3 (1990 version...please make this go viral!)
You Tube ^ | Milton Friedman

Posted on 02/24/2009 1:55:39 PM PST by Recovering_Democrat

FREE TO CHOOSE 1990 VOL. 3: " THE FAILURE OF SOCIALISM " (BARACK OBAMA & LEFT WING) / PART1 (What must have been one of Ronald Reagan's last recorded statements, it appears at the beginning of this video.)


TOPICS: Business/Economy; Constitution/Conservatism; Culture/Society; News/Current Events
KEYWORDS: economy; freedom; friedman; liberty
During these days of creeping socialism, let us keep the idea of freedom and liberty alive.

A couple of scary moments in the video: Milton tells us the success of Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan was the rapidity with which they instituted their program. A warning for those of us who oppose Hussein's ideas...he must NOT be allowed to cram government control of the economy down our throats.

Other videos to see and discuss: Free To Choose, Volume 1...from Google Video

Free To Choose, Volume 2...from Google video

Please watch and pass these video links on to friends! People who will not read a book by Thomas Sowell or Milton Friedman may watch a story that simply lays out the case against government controlled economies.

Another option: show your friends the comic-book style "Road To Serfdom"...available here:
Road To Serfdom, Cartoon version

Thank you. Please be a light in the darkness.

www.ideachannel.tv has them all.

I’ve given this book to more lefties than you can shake a stick at.

I give up.
Obama still won.

They are all going to have to learn a good hard lesson.

Yes Bon! You certainly are also one of those spreading the word.

In part 2 of Volume 3, also on You Tube (posted by You Tube subscriber BornTwyce), Milton warns against “market socialism”, the perverted middle world between communism and market economies. It also doesn’t work!

In part 3, he notes that for years the U.S.A. government has been taking $$ from producers and giving it to non-producers.

The Problem is:

They have you convinced this is a Right vs. Left problem.

When actually you’re dealing with a criminal enterprise problem.

The Banking System is raping your country as we speak, and if short term nationalization of banking institutions is allowed, it is only for the purpose of stripping the institution of its stockholder obligations. Not only do they want to steal the publics money, they want to absolve themselves of all debt responsibility, and make financial obligations to investors disappear.

This way when the dust settles, the institutions will be returned to do business with a clean slate to plan their next robbery.

A World built upon credit is a losing proposition. Being a staunch conservative? ... You would demand any man on the street take responsibility for his credit debt and purchases? So? ...Why would you not require similar responsibility from the creditors that drove that same man into debt with high interest and bank fees?

George Bush gave them $800 Billion, and Barack is slated to dole out another $800 Billion. You’ve got a group of Actors fronting for the Criminal Enterprise, and just because the names change, you expect a different way of handling business.

For the General Health and Wellbeing of Our entire Nation, I would like to let the Credit Industry Fail completely, along with the Stock Market. The World will still turn after their failure, and just maybe? ...If money were returned to the street level of economics, we could return to a healthy Capitalistic Environment.

One where goods and services are created by public demand. and profit is the reward for providing those goods and services.

The way the plan is going now, and this includes the Administration proceeding Barack, is to bolster industry for which there is no demand. There’s no reason to extend credit if there is no plan in place to allow business or people to have a market to sustain them. There is no reason to sustain the auto industry to build cars for which there are no customers.

If there were customers, or the industry hadn’t banked it earnings in corrupt stock holdings, they would still be prepared to do business.

For too long, too much has been stolen from the Man on the Street. Until you can empower him with firm economic solutions to stable employment opportunities and create an environment in which he or she can comfortably acquire disposable income, you will not increase consumer confidence.

And when everyone is afraid to spend, you experience the economic stagnation we are experiencing now.

It’s time for the Criminal Enterprise to give back to the Cash Cow of human endeavor, because the days of Milking Us is coming to an end.
